A cut above the rest
"Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts.” – Jim Morrison
After getting my tresses tended to at Quinn West, I’m confident that I've finally learned my lesson.
Don’t expect avant-garde warbling or ladies and gents dressed in head-to-toe black. This quaint Parkdale salon is all about giving you an awesome head of hair, without making you feel like you have to raise your cool quotient.
I opted to go a little darker in hue and my fabulous colorist Sabrina was up to the task. Owner Erica Quinn wasn’t the slightest bit flustered by my curly mop and gave me a truly great cut – one that easily translates at home.
After years of stylist blunders, I’m fairly certain Quinn West has erased the memories of all those hair-mistakes of the past. —Bianca Goldman
